United midfielder Tom Taiwo spoke to BBC Radio Cumbria's James Phillips after Carlisle's 1-0 loss at home to Exeter, the on-loan Chelsea youngster, who picked up the man of the match award in the game, talking about how welcome he has been made at Brunton Park :


" It was very disappointing, I thought that we played well today and we were very unlucky not to get the win. I am really enjoying it here, I am playing with really good players in (Paul) Thirlwell and Graham (Kavanagh) in there. I am just learning and hoping that this experience can bring better things for the club and myself.

" I have found it really enjoyable here, as you see when I go out on the pitch, I am always smiling, always just trying to enjoy the experience. People around the club are friendly and they let me do that. I do like a tackle, I like to be aggressive and throw my weight around even though there is not much of it. All the lads are up for this fight though and I think that we are proving that and we are just getting a little bit unlucky.

" I think that I will be looking for a club like Carlisle in the future, with Chelsea being such a big club able to bring in the best in the world, it means that opportunities are scarce really. Thanks to the gaffer (Greg Abbott), he has given me a chance and let me try to show the fans and himself and the club and what I can do. Since I have come here everyone has been friendly, helpful, people have been going beyond themselves to try to help me out and I am really enjoying myself.

" I think that as the fans saw today we kept fighting, and not just that but we played some really good football. It shows to us that possession doesn't guarantee wins, it doesn't guarantee goals and we have got to be more ruthless. I definitely have nightmares about my chance at Millwall, I was so disappointed. We had done everything right, the whole team, we had broken quickly, got up the other end of the pitch and unfortunately I was a bit tired by that stage and my legs went.

" As the fans can see it is not just myself that is energetic. All across the board we just want to do well, we want to get up that table. Just keep coming, keep supporting us and you will see more energetic displays like that today, passing, moving, we will get you going and hopefully we will get those goals. It will come right, we have been away to Millwall, we have got a draw, we could have won, here today we should have won and we I think that we have got a chance of beating any team in this league. "
